I'm taking carrot cake to the hospital Wednesday for pot-luck, and another one to the family's dinner Thursday. It's about the only thing I know I can cook and count on to turn out. They're about 10,000 calories per piece. The boss is gone for the week, so I can loaf if I like, but the program is in my hands, and I may have to ask the resident docs to correct their charting if they don't chart right. I'm hoping I don't have to be the bad guy.

It was a fine gathering with the usual 1 to 1 pie to person ratio. My family goes all in for the pumpkin pie

They both live on a reservation in North Dakota, so the idea of celebrating their introduction to the European settlers isn't on the top of their to do list. In my opinion, that makes the original meaning even more important, but then again I'm not constantly looking for something to be offended by. I just wanna eat some damn turkey
